I'm not sure if this is something that jQuery can really help me with, but I suspect it's something that someone here may have solved before. I've just added some functionality to my map editing web app to allow you to edit sections of the text config directly - it uses jQuery to fetch a chunk of text, and presents it in a textarea, where it can be edited and submitted back to the server. The problem is that there doesn't seem to be a combination of styles that gets a proper notepad-style textarea: no word-wraps, scroll-bars in both directions if necessary. "overflow: auto" or "overflow: scroll" takes care of the scrolling, but it still word-wraps. "white-space: nowrap" doesn't make any difference. In fact, it appears that the firefox textarea does wordwrap, but also preserves the real cr-lf info somewhere, so it still works OK but looks terrible. Is there some magic involved in getting this to work? or, is there some way to fake the textarea with something else? Thanks in advance for any pointers... everything I found on the web seemed to be people trying to use textareas as something else, and getting *rid* of scrollbars! :-) Howie
